Finally, we provide lessons learned and feedback from the Panel membersto improve the “Design Panel” as an assessment tool.1. IntroductionCapstone design courses with substantial student projects are usually one or twosemesters long. Assessment in such courses for the purpose of continuous programimprovement and ABET accreditation is a challenge. At the School of Engineering andComputer Science, we have a mechanical engineering program with a manufacturingoption. For the past two years, our program has been preparing for its first ABETaccreditation visit. As part of this effort, we established a “Design Panel” to

forefoot of an enormous wave of application. Verysmall transportable energy devices are beginning to proliferate. The list is both broad and deep.Frequently, these products are more amenable to manufacture by extrapolation of machiningtechnologies, than by adaptation of lithographic techniques. [1,2,3] The terms ‘nano’, ‘micro’ and ‘meso’ are frequently employed to describe the small world ofmanufacture. These terms are rather imprecise, and there is no universal agreement as to whereone realm stops and another begins. Some writers also employ the term ‘miniature’ in thespectrum.[3] We describe our work at North Dakota State as being with products generally in theminiature and meso realms according to the spectrum suggested in Figure 1.

The preferred numbering system in the inch system is a bitconvoluted. The inch system actually has two preferred numbering systems: • Fractional based: We prefer whole numbers to fractions. We prefer 1/2’s to 1/4’s; 1/4’s to 1/8’s; 1/8’s to 1/16’s, etc. • Decimal based: We prefer whole numbers to decimal increments.

A secondary goal of the exhibit is tointroduce children, especially girls, to the types of professions found in these areas so they mayconsider them as future career choices.3 For either of these goals to be attained, the proposedexhibit must accomplish three tasks: (1) attract visitors, (2) motivate them to become engagedwith the exhibit, and (3) facilitate the acquisition of the knowledge, understanding, and attitudesthe exhibit is designed to convey.Exhibit OverviewThe

Starting with measurements, students are givenlab exercises that illustrate the techniques needed to manufacture a machined part. Followingmeasuring, there is a two-week introduction to the machines, which requires individuals tooperate the lathes and teams of two to operate the mills. Next, the students are given a two-weekproject where they individually make a screwdriver using the available equipment. The finalproject consists of making an air motor in teams of five, where each team is responsible forproducing one-half of the parts of the air motor. During the two projects

However, it is critical for engineering/industrial technology to transition fromtheoretical work in the classroom to experiential learning. The main objective of senior projectsor design courses in engineering technology curricula is to bridge the gap between academictheory and real world practice. The proposed senior projects should include elements of bothcredible analysis and experiential proofing such as design and implementation as discussed inABET criteria [1]. Further, the senior design seminar can serve as an excellent culminatingexperience in the program of study when it focuses on research and design projects

To accomplish this general objective, a laboratory has been introduced inthe course where the students work on a project individually. The lab (2 hours every week for 15weeks) follows the lecture classes (three fifty minute sessions every week) very closely.

2IntroductionIt is estimated that around 70% of the cost of a manufactured product is locked in at theproduct design stage as shown in Figure 1, and it is estimated that around 80% of chronicquality problems in manufacturing can be traced to issues in product design. Clearly theimportance of product design on efficient manufacturing and high quality productscannot be overstated. Figure 1. Who Casts the Biggest Shadow? (Munro, 1989)However, product design and quality are not given the importance that we feel theydeserve in industry. The evidence that product design and quality are being deprioritizedin manufacturing can be found in the fact that the body of knowledge for the CertifiedManufacturing Technologist (CMfgT) and the Certified
